Alright, so I'm very new to coding and modding. I'm trying to create a crafting recipe of a block, but it just doesn't work. I'm trying to follow as many YouTube tutorials as possible, but they're just all over the place! I'm probably missing a whole chunk of code or something. Again, I'm very new to this, so any help is appreciated!!

Screenshots are a terrible way to share code, btw use code blocks, or even better a github repo of your project. Google up on it, github is pretty easy!!

 

What version is this for?

This is for 1.15.2

Is your modid actually modid? Please show your main mod class

Yes lol. Its just a placeholder for now.

Here's my main mod class:

package com.pixxibunny.minecraftmod;

import com.pixxibunny.minecraftmod.util.RegistryHandler;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemGroup;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

@Mod("modid")
public class MinecraftMod
{
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();
    public static final String MOD_ID = "modid";

    public MinecraftMod() {
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::setup);
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::doClientStuff);

        RegistryHandler.init();

        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }

    private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { }

    private void doClientStuff(final FMLClientSetupEvent event) { }

    public static final ItemGroup TAB = new ItemGroup("modTab") {
        @Override
        public ItemStack createIcon() {return new ItemStack(RegistryHandler.ROSE.get());
        }
    };

}

 

Your recipe needs to be in data.modid.recipes

assets is only for client stuff, models, textures, etc

I've moved my recipes folder to this location as opposed to my assets folder. It's still not letting me craft it...

No no, I mean in your resources, make a new package data.modid.recipes it'll be alongside your assets package

Wow! That worked! Thank you so much! One last problem, I hope you don't mind... I have it so that the block can be broken with an iron pick but it doesn't drop in any instance when harvested. Any ideas?

Here is my RoseBlock class:
 

package com.pixxibunny.minecraftmod.blocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.SoundType;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;

public class RoseBlock extends Block {

    public RoseBlock() {
        super(Block.Properties.create(Material.IRON)
                .hardnessAndResistance(5.0f,6.0f)
                .sound(SoundType.METAL)
                .harvestLevel(2)
                .harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE));

    }
}

 

Do you have a loot_table setup for your block in src/main/resources/data/minecraftmod/loot_tables?

Ah, no, I don't. How would I go about setting that up?

Same as you did for recipes. Create the package, then add the block you want to drop.

You can view what minecraft does but, I'm not familiar with IntelliJ and were to look for it though. There should be a Reference Library you can peruse through for the source code of minecraft.

I've created a loot_tables package. Here's what I have:

Here is the code within the loot_tables.blocks for the rose_crystal_block.json:
 

{
    "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",

    "pattern":
    [
        "RRR",
        "RRR",
        "RRR"
    ],

    "key":
    {
        "R":
        {
            "item": "modid:rose_crystal_thing"
        }
    },

    "result":
    {
        "item": "modid:rose_crystal_block",
        "count": 1
    }
}

This is the exact same thing I have in the recipe json. I had no idea what to do lol.

No, the recipe does not go in the loot_table. Just the block you want to drop.

 

Spoiler

{
	"type": "minecraft:block",
	"pools": [
	{
		"rolls": 1,
		"entries": [
		{
			"type": "minecraft:item",
			"name": "minecraftmod:rose_crystal_block"
		}
		
		]
	}
	]
}

 

 

That worked perfectly!! Thank you so much!! ❤️
